Thornveil Press

Where shadows dance with beauty

Gothic Fiction

The Gothic Renaissance

Thornveil Press is dedicated to the revival and reimagining of Gothic literature for the modern age. We seek stories that explore the liminal spaces between light and darkness, beauty and decay, the rational and the supernatural. Our books pierce the veil between worlds, offering readers an escape into atmospheric realms where every shadow holds a secret.

"There is something at work in my soul, which I do not understand."
— Mary Shelley
